Yes, but the income is lower on the one and the race is lower on the other. What is wrong with Grove Hall? I thought you like it.
Nothign wrong- just offering some other looks. Some people might prefer a little blacker, some might prefer a little higher income. Tradeoffs and what not. Grove Hall is a solid location, I just have more friends in Lower Mills/Gallivan and Ashmont. Lower crime too.
My Family is more in The H Block, are of Roxbury, Riverwood area/Ross Field Area of Hyde Park and the 'West of Washington/Talbot ave" Area of Dorchester. You will find many middle class black families in all these areas, thats not even in doubt. So thats nice.
0% White 37% Black 63% Latino (mostly Dominican, some Puerto Ricans)
Combined the area is about 63% Black 36%, Latino. That's what I mean when I tell people where I lived in Boston it was lower middle class and there were virtually no white people, and they don't beleive me. Even if in that part of Hyde Park 2/3rd of black people are immigrants (nowadays, less so 20 years ago) or their kids.. its still 20%+ ADOS and less than .5% white.
A numbers of neighborhoods in Hyde Park/Southern Mattapan and South Dorchester with household incomes of 90-100k that are 50-60% black and less than 25% white.

Understood, believe me. I like Ward 7 better than Ward 8 east of the river for various reasons. Ward 7 is where the bulk of Black professionals are moving and reside currently. It is also along the Blue Line Corridor leading to Largo which to be honest is becoming the new Gold Coast of the DC area. Ward 7 along Central Avenue and the Blue Line to Largo has the highest percentage of Black Americans and some of the highest incomes and educational attainments for Black people in the DC area. Those numbers are only going to rise long term which is why I prefer it.

Yea naw Ward 7 is definitely better than Ward 8, no argument there from me. Ward 8 is Anacostia and whatnot- I get it. Places like Grove Hall or Anacostia carry legacy with them but I'm not really choosing Grove Hall (and its copious youth gangs) over beautiful street scenes like these.

Boston is exempt from any zoning changes for some reasons I’m not aware of. So it won’t, I think it’s already at the desired density put forth by the state. This is for suburban municipalities to alleviate development pressure from the core urban areas.
